Meet Gianna
Gianna provides Early Intervention Services in Greenville County.
Hey hey! My name is Gianna but I am mostly known as Gigi. I am originally from Baltimore, Maryland but I like to say I'm from all over and here’s why. I grew up and graduated high school in Sumter, South Carolina, and I have been living in Conway, SC for the last 5 years in between college and 1 year full time post graduation. I was a part of the Grammy award winning choir at my high school which gave me opportunities to travel to many cities and do what I love. While in the choir my biggest highlight was having the opportunity to perform at the Apollo Theater in New York City where many Legends have performed. I was also previously a part of a competitive swim team for about 7 years where I received numerous medals. Besides signing I love to paint, shop, cook, travel, and do DIY projects around my home. You'll know it's me when you see my signature curly fro, wearing pink and green or my big hoops!
Background
Education:
I graduated the class of 2019 from Lakewood High and then attended Newberry college to obtain my bachelors degree. I have a B.A. in Sociology with a minor in Social Work. While in college I had the honor of becoming a charter member of The Upsilon Nu Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated. While in college I worked along The Department of Juvenile Justice as an intern.
I have had a passion for working with kids since I was young through volunteering as a Junior Lifeguard and an Internship with the Department of Juvenile Justice. During my time at my internship I helped lead a Gang resistance program at the local elementary school where I fell in love with helping young children. I wanted to work in Early Intervention because I believe every child should have the ability to succeed in everything they do although they may need a little special attention.
